Here’s a simple and delicious creamed peas on toast recipe—perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner.
Creamed Peas on Toast
Ingredients (2 servings)
- 2 cups fresh or frozen peas
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, for a little tang)
- 2–4 slices of bread (your choice: white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh mint or parsley
Instructions
1. Cook the Peas
- Boil or steam the peas until tender (about 3–5 minutes if fresh, 5–7 minutes if frozen).
- Drain and set aside.
2. Make the Cream Sauce
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to make a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, making sure there are no lumps.
- Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
3. Combine Peas and Sauce
- Add the cooked peas to the cream sauce.
- Stir in salt, pepper, and mustard if using.
- Heat for another 1–2 minutes until everything is warmed through.
4. Prepare the Toast
- Toast your bread slices until golden and crispy.
- Spoon the creamed peas generously over each slice.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- For extra richness, add a splash of cream or grated Parmesan to the sauce.
- You can lightly smash some peas in the sauce for texture variation.
- Works well with crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
💡 Result: Creamy, comforting peas on crispy toast—simple, quick, and delicious.
I can also give a vegan version using plant-based milk and margarine if you want it dairy-free.
